I’d put it at less than 50-50 that the NHL players will be back
In the NHL, it’s revenge not rivalry, that generates hype ... The NHL needs attention for the speed and finesse of the game and the sheer athleticism of the players. Too often, it only makes headlines when the sport is tainted by the spectacle not the spectacular.

My sister sang growing up and when I was about 10 years old, we went to a tournament in Boston ... My dad made my sister sing an anthem before we got off the bus. She sang at the Memorial Cup, when we played here in Ottawa, she sang in the East Coast Hockey League, she sang in the (AHL) and she sang in ...
We have fought head shots very strongly. The health of athletes is very important. We would work together with the NHL.
For us, for sure it is very important they could come to an agreement to come to Sochi. It means a lot for our sport and it means a lot for the NHL
We are looking at what would happen if they decide not to come. I will have discussions, especially with USA Hockey and Hockey Canada. If the NHL says no, the national federations would be more under pressure than European federations because players are playing in leagues there. If the NHL says no by t...
If any team in the NHL needs to do some SERIOUS work in the offseason, it’s the REFEREE TEAMS! Some of the most pathetic calls I’ve seen in 32 years of watching have been made on a regular basis this season. I know the rules are out of control more than ever before now, but Refs are missing easy calls a...
As of right now, I think that's kind of the plan. I'm just enjoying it day by day. I got a ton of games in last year in the American League, and at the start of this year. Being up here is another aspect of my development, facing NHL shots every day.
It happened kind of quick, but I got a chance to be up here and play a bunch of games. It's nice to be around these guys and facing NHL shots. It's helped me develop and move along quicker than I expected.
There's not ever going to be a trade in the history of the NHL that's going to change something like this
The Red Wings have the longest single-season winning streak by an NHL team at home since 1976 when Philadelphia won 20 in a row to match a league mark set by Boston during the 1929-30 season, according to STATS, LLC.
I honestly feel bad because he should really be there before me ... He is the best all-around player on our team and one of the best in the NHL.
I was never drafted to the OHL or the NHL. I could see how it would be frustrating for him because he's playing in the 'O' and getting that exposure, but at 19, no one knew who I was. When I was in university at Wisconsin, I was senior-aged, but still a freshman.
I can tell you all about their seasons, more than I could about what's going on in the NHL ... They all have great coaches, but sure, I do tell them things on the side.
There were probably a number of factors why that was the case ... I didn't play much my first year of junior [six games with the Barrie Colts], and then I was injured for most of my second year. After that, nobody was willing take a chance on me as a 19 year old in the next draft. There was no reason to...
He probably knew it was broken ... It showed how much he wanted to play in the big games. Now he's just doing at the NHL level what he did as a junior. He's good defensively. He moves the puck well and he chips in offensively.
When you have young players with junior eligibility, in order to make the team (in the NHL) they have to be good defensively
While a player should expect contact to be made, what no player should expect any longer is that the head will be made the principal point of contact. We have taken into account that Desjardins suffered an injury on the play. We've also taken into consideration that Byers has been suspended once before ...
What no player should expect any longer is that his head will be picked and made the principal point of contact ... We have taken into account that Desjardins suffered an injury on the play. We've also taken into consideration that Byers has been suspended once before in his NHL career.
He’ll get drafted and be at an NHL camp in September and I fully expect he’ll be an NHL player in the future.
We've got a few guys I thought who were definitely worthy of it. I guess they (the NHL) thought differently.
I had to think about it for a little bit, get the details about what the (NHL) expects, what they are looking for ... But the team encouraged me, the NHLPA did as well. I think it's good for hockey.
I'm disappointed we're missing three centermen right now and guys have to fill in ... That's how it goes. It's a war of attrition here in the NHL. You have to do what you have to do and in this case Zubrus is going to have to go in and play some center. He's done it before. Hopefully we won't miss a bea...
